DJI Lito Firmware Update v01.00.0200 Adds Propeller Guard Support

DJI has released a fresh firmware update for both the DJI Lito 1 and the DJI Lito X1 on 23 April 2026, the same day the new Lito series goes on sale in the UK. Both aircraft move to firmware v01.00.0200, which formally enables propeller guard support and fixes a handful of known issues. This guide covers exactly what is in the update, the matching app and remote controller versions, and how to install it cleanly the first time.

What Is in the DJI Lito Firmware v01.00.0200

The release notes for both the Lito 1 and the Lito X1 list two changes, identical for each aircraft:

• Added support for the propeller guard.
• Fixed some known issues.

The headline change is propeller guard support. The DJI propeller guard is a snap-on cage that sits around each rotor and shields the blades from accidental contact with people, walls and indoor obstacles. Until v01.00.0200 the airframe could detect the additional weight but did not formally adjust flight performance for it. The new firmware corrects that, so the drone tunes its motor response and battery telemetry for the heavier configuration.

Firmware and App Versions Released on 23 April 2026

DJI shipped the same firmware bundle for both Lito models. The full version list reads:

• Aircraft firmware: v01.00.0200 (DJI Lito 1 and DJI Lito X1)
• DJI RC 2 remote controller firmware: v10.00.0300
• DJI RC-N3 remote controller firmware: v01.00.0100
• DJI RC-N2 remote controller firmware: v01.00.0100
• DJI Fly app: v1.21.0 on iOS and Android

DJI flags that the new features only work once the DJI Fly app has been updated to v1.21.0 or later, so the app update is not optional.

Why Propeller Guard Support Matters

The propeller guard turns a Lito 1 or Lito X1 into a much friendlier drone for indoor scenarios such as estate agent walkthroughs, warehouse inspections, training days at flying clubs, and creative shoots in tight environments. It also gives newer pilots a buffer when they are still learning to read the obstacle sensors. The aircraft remains in the A1 sub-category of the UK Open Category at sub-250g with the standard battery, even with the guard fitted, so casual indoor flying stays straightforward to authorise.

For Lito X1 owners running the UK1 class-marked Fly More Combo Plus, note that the aircraft can pair with either the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus or the propeller guard, but not both at the same time. Choose one or the other based on the flight you are about to do.

How to Install DJI Lito v01.00.0200

The cleanest update path is straight from the DJI Fly app, with the aircraft and remote controller paired and powered on. The basic flow is:

1. Update the DJI Fly app to v1.21.0 or later from the App Store or Google Play.
2. Power on the DJI Lito 1 or Lito X1 and the paired DJI RC 2, RC-N3 or RC-N2.
3. Connect the controller to the smart device, open DJI Fly, and accept the firmware update prompt when it appears.
4. Leave the aircraft and controller switched on until both progress bars complete and a confirmation message appears.
5. Reboot both devices and check the firmware version under About in the DJI Fly settings menu.

If the update stalls or fails part way through, restart the aircraft, the remote controller and the DJI Fly app, and run the update again. As an alternative path, DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series) on a desktop computer can flash the same firmware over USB, which is useful if your phone is unreliable on Wi-Fi.

Notes Worth Reading Before You Update

DJI's release notes flag two practical points that catch out first-time updaters:

• Camera settings reset after the firmware update, so dial in your colour profile, frame rate, ISO range and shutter preferences again the next time you fly.
• The new propeller guard support requires the matching DJI Fly v1.21.0 release, even if the aircraft firmware is current.

Treat the first flight after the update as a calibration run. Take off in a clear area, check that obstacle sensing is responding correctly, and review the live telemetry to confirm the drone is reading the propeller guard if you have one fitted.

FAQs

What is the latest DJI Lito 1 firmware version?

The latest firmware for the DJI Lito 1 is v01.00.0200, released on 23 April 2026. It pairs with DJI RC 2 firmware v10.00.0300, DJI RC-N3 firmware v01.00.0100, DJI RC-N2 firmware v01.00.0100 and the DJI Fly app v1.21.0 or later.

What does the new DJI Lito X1 firmware add?

The DJI Lito X1 firmware v01.00.0200 adds support for the optional propeller guard accessory and fixes a number of unspecified known issues. The change list is identical to the Lito 1 release notes from the same day.

How do I update my DJI Lito drone?

Update the DJI Fly app to v1.21.0, power on the aircraft and remote controller, open DJI Fly and accept the firmware prompt that appears. If the over-the-air update fails, restart all devices and try again, or use DJI Assistant 2 over USB on a desktop computer.

Why does my DJI Lito need a propeller guard?

A propeller guard wraps each rotor in a cage that protects people, walls and indoor obstacles from blade strikes, and protects the blades from damage when flying close to a surface. It is the safer choice for indoor inspections, training flights and creative shoots in tight environments.

Does updating the firmware reset my DJI Lito settings?

Camera settings reset after every Lito firmware update, including this one. Other in-app preferences such as flight modes and RTH altitude are usually preserved, but it is good practice to check the camera profile, frame rate, ISO range and shutter speed before your first flight on the new firmware.

Conclusion

The DJI Lito v01.00.0200 firmware is a small but useful update that aligns both the Lito 1 and the Lito X1 with the new propeller guard accessory and quietly fixes a few known issues. It is well worth running before the next outdoor or indoor flight, especially if you bought the drone at launch on 23 April 2026.
